Nor do I care that you are guessing about what Gruber did or did not ask.
He literally says he didn't ask about things being "done differently now" because it was uncomfortable. He literally says he guesses a list of others will receive the same briefing.
>When I worked at Apple
oh.
- MaxGabriel 15y agoThe way I took "done differently now" was that it was in reference to Job's death, and I can understand why it would be uncomfortable to talk about it.
- mikeash 15y agoUncomfortableness is often an excellent clue that you're close to something interesting and important. It's really too bad he didn't follow that one up.
- g9a5 15y agoI agree, but in this case I can understand his hesitancy. I think he's closer to nailing "now" when he says that Apple is treating press events with more respect. No more introducing three new products at an event. From now on, only major product releases will be given the Jobsian pitch. Anything which isn't in the same league (shifting millions of units) is going to be a smaller affair, to keep the big events fresh.
- kevinh 15y ago> oh. Acting like someone doesn't have meaningful contribution to a dialogue because of where they have worked says more about you than the person you're conversing with.
